“O taste and see that the LORD is good…

He left not Himself without witness,

in that He did good,

and gave us rain from heaven,

and fruitful seasons,

filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

Psalm 34:8 & Acts 14:17

Nature has its witnesses, who stand up and speak eloquently on the Creator’s behalf!

“AND GOD SAW EVERY THING THAT HE MADE, AND BEHOLD, IT WAS VERY GOOD!”

Genesis 1:31

.

Just look at the beauty of nature!

.

Behold nature’s awesome grandeur!

.

And seek after its wisdom! Its poetry! Its law & order! Its love!

.

Look up, and behold the signs written in the sun, moon and stars! (see Luke 21:25)

.

These are the faithful witnesses found in all of nature, which proclaim their Divine Maker!

FRESH FRUIT

.

Yes, just what is the most beautiful part of any food market?

.

Well, many people might say the most beautiful part of the store would be the fresh produce department.

.

After all, just stand back and appreciate all the various bright and beautiful colors of each fruit!

.

Now, why do you suppose that fruit is so colorful?

.

Could it be that our Heavenly Father created fruit to purposely be so bright and colorful to attract us to such a diet?

THE ORIGINAL DIET

.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fruit_Stall_in_Barcelona_Market.jpgListen to what Mankind’s original diet was to be comprised of…“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Genesis 1:29

.

So here is revealed that Mankind was to live entirely on fruits, seeds, and herbs.

.

And to all that He created, it is written…“And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good.” Genesis 1:31

.

And let’s not forget that this diet was to sustain Mankind forever. There was no death in that garden!

“EAT…FOR STRENGTH!”

Ecclesiastes 10:17

.

Yes, the vast varieties of fresh fruits which are available are a real testament to God’s loving care for His human family!

.

And those who choose to live on a diet of fresh produce quite often enjoy a higher degree of health than those who live on the standard diet of today’s society!

JESUS ATE FOR STRENGTH

.

But having said all this, it is nonetheless true that this website actually endorses the diet which Jesus lived on as the ultimate diet for Mankind.

.

And an integral part of His diet is the temperance which Jesus exercised on a daily basis. In other words, Jesus mostly ate only one or two types of food on each meal.

.

And of course, Jesus often went without food, for one reason or another. And we might all pray for such moral strength to likewise go on occasional times of fasting. It would be for our increased health to do so.

“…the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”

1st Peter 5:8

.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Christianandapollyon.jpgOf course, we can’t forget that the Christian has an adversary who stands ready to oppose any attempt to imitate Jesus.

.

And so, those who would like to follow their Master in the area of diet, will undoubtedly encounter many obstacles along their pathway to Heaven.

.

Nevertheless, we must keep praying and keep striving for victory in this and in every other area of following Jesus!

.

May the Lord give us all strength to overcome all!

TODAY’S PRAYER…

“Dear Lord, Give me the joy of knowing more about the wonders of nature. Help me to see, not only the beauty and poetry of nature, and the wisdom and law of nature, but also the many pictures of Love: God’s love in nature…and the joy of nature…

HEAVENLY OBJECT LESSON

.

“Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” Isaiah 24:23

.

When God created the Moon and the stars, He ordained them to “rule the night” (Gen. 1:16). The Moon, especially when it is full, can light your pathway through the night, as it reflects the light of the Sun.

.http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Um_moinho_dominando_a_ba%C3%ADa_%C3%A0_luz_lunar.jpg

So too, the Christian is to be a light to the world: to this sin-darkened world. But as the Moon must reflect the light of the Sun, in order to be a light to the world, so also must the Christian reflect the light of Jesus, to be a spiritual light to this planet in rebellion. Listen…

.

“Ye are the light of the world…Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

.This is a drawing of a winter-time total lunar eclipse, first published in Bilder- (Picture Atlas of the Stemenwelt) in 1888

However, during an eclipse, the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon, preventing that sunlight from shining on the Moon’s face. This is an incredible object-lesson about when the child of God allows the world to come between him and his Lord. Like the eclipse, that person no longer reflects the light of Jesus, because his or her love of this dark world of sin has eclipsed the light from the “Sun of Righteousness” (see Malachi 4:2).

.

And so, this is just one of the many poetic truths seen in the Moon. (For more on this subject of an eclipse, you may link to the article… “Lunar Eclipse & Spiritual Eclipse”)
